Synopsis
Mingan, something of a lone wolf, has his solitary wanderings interrupted when he's put in a position to rescue Elloreah, one of the rare Ethereal. There is a demand for rare creatures such as Elloreah among the mythic black markets. Mingan cannot turn a blind eye knowing what will become of her should she fall prey to poachers. By rescuing her, he finds himself pulled back into the vast network and influences of the Tutelar, the shadow organization that keeps the magical elements of Earth under wraps. His fate is soon intertwined with Elloreah's, whose exile from her home world is far more complicated than either of them realize.
The Wind Shifts is a rural fantasy novel based in the Central Valley of California, and follows the lives of the mythic creatures that hide in plain sight during the late 1960s.
This work has been completed for the moment. There is a book 2, but unless there is a demand for book 2, I'm going to focus on the rewrite.

Honestly, this is too good to be on web novel, if the author had a professional editor I have no doubt (based on what I've read so far) that this could be published. I have read thousands upon thousands of books, everything from Dostoevsky's masterpieces to Paolini's Inheritance series, so believe me when I say this, this is a quality novel worth your time, and more importantly, your intrigue.
Amazing story! I have always loved reading werewolves story and i must say this is a very refreshing book. It's different than the usual werewolves story and the plot is very interesting. The book is also well written and your choice of words are perfect. Keep up the good work!
💜This is a gem really! Firstly I love love love the way you write, it's awesome! The world you created is really out of this world! The characters are unique and described well with just few words. (Really wished I could write like that🥺) This is a genre that if left to me I won't pick it up cause they kinda scare me a little BUT WOW! I'm going to choose your book 100 times over at any time of the day! That's just how cool it is! I thought I might not be able to read all available chapters at once, but I was stuck till I realized I had gotten to the last chapter 😭 Can't get enough of Mingan and Elloreah's connection 💜...Hope their love blooms soon✨ The name of the characters are really unique and I like them(how did you name them? That's one of my very huge hurdles.😭) Love your work author! Keep it up! I'm impatiently waiting for more updates🤭 Oh and why did you name your story The Wind Shifts? 🤔 Sorry if I asked too many questions, I guess I'm looking up to you now. Come teach me please!😭

lovely book here. really had a lot of fun with such welly developed characters. good job making the story easy to follow and generally intriguing!
Very beautifully written. Nice flow and very consistent. This is my first time reading this kind of story and I very much like it. Best wishes.
I'm so sorry for leaving a review after only 3 chapters :( I'm really loving this! The writing is so fluid and the pacing feels just right! I'm in love with the characters already. Really looking forward to where this will go. I'm adding this to my reading list. It may take me a while to catch up to this, but I'll catch up for sure! Maybe update this review then too, heh
Okay, lets start with the synopsis, which is amazing. The story is written so well, the one who lovee this concepts would eventually hook on it, like me hehe. So far the story is going well, keep going and best of luck
Wonderful story very well written. So far the pace is also good. Keep writing and posting new chapters. loved the cover. It's really beautiful. ❤❤❤ Already in my library so will read rest of the chapters soon. 😊
The novel is a very interesting read! The plot and story are very engaging, and the author has done a wonderful job of explaining and describing them. The grammar is top-notch and allows for an immersive experience. Well done with the novel! Keep up the good work!
I am say this a very descriptive novel, I can very easily visualise what the author is trying convey. Seems like a very thought out novel, keep it up!
The story is wonderful. Overall, I find the plot interesting. The pace of the story is smooth and the descriptions are vivid for me to portray the scenarios going on in my head. I was also able to portray how the characters looked like in a few paragraphs. There is nothing much to critic about this novel since I find the writing style of the author unique and was not able to notice any errors. Punctuation such as the comma and period were used correctly too. I'm not fond of reading novels belonging to this type of genre, but I have to say, it was captivating. The descriptions are perfect and the paragraphs are not that lengthy. As for the stability of updates, I assume the author updates daily but despite this, I prefer quality over quantity. I wish the author the very best!
Nice fantasy. I don't really read stuff like this so I don't really have the right to critique, but from what I can gather, the writing here is wonderful. Descriptors are adequately used to paint a picture of the scene and the character interactions flow naturally. Keep on writing 👍
This novel is a Rural Fantasy based in the Central Valley of California in the late 1960s. It is best described as the TV series Lost Girl, mixed with Patricia Brigg's Mercy Thompson (or Alpha and Omega) novels, with influences from Charles De Lint unique style of fantasy. It is scheduled to update daily. While this novel it could possibly be lumped in with werewolf novels, since there is a focus on shifters, I would not pick it up expecting a traditional werewolf romance. Romance is definitely a focus and a theme, as are character relationships. Mythology and immortality are the other themes, as are tragedy and struggles of life. Now of course, this glowing review is from my perspective as the writer. I'm close to this work having spent a great deal of time on it. This is, though, a draft, and while it is complete and I intend to post the entirety of it here, it is not perfect. Still, I hope you enjoy it for what it is. <3 <3 <3 Sincerely, M.S. Chavez
